Notes

Because of the strange way in which damage multipliers seem to work with ranged weapons and ammunition, and the fact that there is no greatbow equivalent of the Knight's Crossbow (i.e. a greatbow with lightning base damage), these greatarrows will almost always deal less damage than their physical counterparts, even against enemies that ought to be weaker to lightning damage than to physical damage (such as Lothric Knights).

I figured i would try to headshot KoS to maybe discover something remarkable.....after 20 attempts i finally hit him, shook my head at the damage and immediately went right back to my dragonslayer spear. This arrow needs a huge buff towards dragons

Tested them against the standard Dragonslayer Greatarrows against the Lothric Dragon<br/>Stats 40/40/40/40, Dragonslayer Greatbow +0<br/>Lightning Arrow around 150 (depending on distance a bit more or less)<br/>Regular Dragonslayer Arrow around 230 from the same spot

These are awful, they add a flat 90 lightning AR, it doesn't scale with the bow, so the damage it applies will be negligible. Yes their damage can be increased with various buffs and the clutch ring, but it's still splitting the damage for no real gain, you'll almost certainly be better off with standard arrows.<br/>Ironically, despite being more expensive, these are better used on weaker enemies, to expand your effective ammo capacity.
